Police officers Frank Pickens and Jeff Bonilla of the Burlingame Police Department
are the authors of So you Want to be a Cop.According to the authors, “When the idea for this book first came to us, we
were parked side by side in our patrol cars, talking about the many ups and downs of being police officers. We began to discuss
the many books about cops that had been written over the last few years, and it became apparent to us that there wasn't a
current book out that gave anyone interested in police work any insight or guidelines on what to expect in a career as a police
officer.

According to one reader/review of So you Want to be a Cop, “This book is well written and easy to follow.
I was going to start the police academy so i bought this book to get an insiders look on things. It has a lot of great info
and is right on with how the entire process works and what to expect. I’ve read this book three times and every once
in a while I pick it up just to read a chapter or one of the authors real life stories. This book is perfect for someone that
is going to be a police officer, for someone that wants to know how officers think or if you’re a vet and want to remember
the good old days. I recommend this book.”
